Win2k3EE Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 What's wrong with it? Everythime I click on windows update it goes to: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/thanks.asp?Where it says:Thank you for your interest in Windows UpdateWindows Update is the online extension of Windows that helps you get the most out of your computer.You must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system in order to use Windows Update.I have to say the other day when I clicked on WU it went to the same page, but in the system tray appeared an icon similar with that of WinXP Security center and when I clicked on it, it installed some hotfixes.What's up with that?

Win2k3EE Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 (edited) First it goes to this address:http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en-us then it's redirected to the one mentioned above. I scanned my PC with Spybot S&D, MS Antispyware, Ad-Aware SE Pro and found nothing.P.S. It seems that v6 of WU is beta and that's why I get redirected to v4.

Zxian Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Are you using a firewall with browser masking? I remember having this problem with Sygate.Windows Update needs to know that you're using IE and a Windows-based machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 You might have to activate Windows 2003 first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
